+.TH anonpgpid.d 1m "$Date:: 2007-08-05 #$" "USER COMMANDS"
+.SH NAME
+anonpgpid.d \- anonymous memory paging info by PID on CPU. Uses DTrace.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B anonpgpid.d
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This scripts may help identify which processes are affected by a system
+with low memory, which is paging to the physical swap device. A report
+of the process on the CPU when paging occured is printed.
+
+This program is currently an approximation - often the process when writing
+pages to swap will be "pageout" the pageout scanner, or "rcapd" the
+resource capping daemon.
+
+Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the
+dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command.
+.SH OS
+Solaris
+.SH STABILITY
+unstable - this script uses fbt provider probes which may change for
+future updates of the OS, invalidating this script. Please read
+Docs/Notes/ALLfbt_notes.txt for further details about these fbt scripts.
